I think that Flipped Classrooms are great and are very beneficial to students that are enrolled in them. They provide students with more opportunities to learn both in and out of the classroom. Additionally, they are a great way to continue to hold discussions and share ideas when situations prevent actual class from being held. An example of this is when our teacher was at a conference for a week and, instead of cancelling class, we participated in a number of online activities that still taught us. I will be likely to recommend flipped classrooms to friends.
OER resources? More like OER you ready to learn?!?! hahaha. Get it? Because it sounds like "are"... and you're learning... funny stuff! Anyways, Open Education Resources are really useful. They provide educators with a plethora of free resources to be used in the educational instruction of their students. As many people know, teaching is not an extremely lucrative career in a financial sense so having the ability to access these free resources is monumental. I am thankful that OER resources will be available to me when I am teaching.

I learned much more about Microsoft Power Point than I ever imagined I would during my time working on these activities. The most interesting skill that I learned, in my opinion, was how to annotate Power Points in a recording. This process was quite tricky for me to learn as I have had this laptop since I was in 8th grade and does not record audio so I borrowed my friend's Mac which I did not know how to use and, as I found out, did not have the "record audio" option on Keynote so I borrowed another friend's Mac which did not have Power Point downloaded and did not want me to download it so I borrowed ANOTHER friend's Dell (thank goodness) and completed the assignment. While I found this to be extremely stressful at the time, I learned a very valuable skill because of it and will be likely to utilize it in the future.
